Definitions

  • This invention relates to a mini pad for reducing vulvar inflammation in females, and to a method for making the same. More particularly, this invention relates to a mini pad of the character described which is tidy, convenient to use, and can be worn during most conventional daily activities in order to relieve or prevent vulvar irritations. Vulvar irritations are often caused by vaginal secretions deposited on the vulva, or by direct irritation of the tissue by such things as tight clothing, excessive exposure to persistent moisture or perspiration, or mild trauma from sexual relations. As a result, the delicate vulva tissue becomes inflamed and irritated. Increased acidity of the tissue in this area is one of the factors causing annoying symptoms.
  • Vulvar inflammation and irritation is a major problem with most females beginning essentially at puberty. As noted above, this problem can be the result of vagina! secretions which are deposited on the vulva. These secretions inflame vulvar tissue and result in uncomfortable irritation and itching of the vulva tissues. Increased acidity of the irritated skin is the major reason for the vulvar discomfort.
  • topical steroid creams which are manually applied to the affected tissue by the user.
  • the use of such topical steroid creams has been effective in dealing with the problem, but they are messy to use, and can undesirably stain undergarments, and with long term use they can cause skin damage as well.
  • Females who endure this problem have also been advised to, in the privacy of their homes, saturate a towel with water, and place the saturated towel in a freezer so as to freeze the water and then add skim milk to the top of the frozen towel. The frozen towel is then applied to the irritated area so as to soothe and reduce the irritation.
  • This approach has also proven to be successful, but it cannot be used by women except in the privacy of their homes.
  • This invention is directed to a modified mini pad which incorporates a milk ingredient that, when applied to the irritated tissue will lower the acidity of the tissue and, because of other materials such as proteins in the milk, soothe the inflamed area.
  • the mini pad can contain a refrigerant that can be made cold by crushing, or it can contain a gel that can be cooled by being placed in a refrigerator or freezer.
  • the mini pad has a relatively conventional configuration with a slight bulge in the middle so as to obtain intimate contact with the individual's skin.
  • the milk component can be incorporated into the pad in a number of different ways.
  • nonfat dry milk in water can be formed, sprayed onto the pad, dried and then are suitable for use, alternatively, slurries of nonfat dry milk and a meltable anhydrous water-soluble carrier such as polyethylene glycol can be formed.
  • a slurry of nonfat dry milk and a non-water-soluble carrier such as mineral oil and wax can be formed.
  • a slurry of nonfat dry milk and an aqueous solution of thickeners and polymers can be formed.
  • the aforesaid dry milk can be substituted with non-dry milk, and whole milk, both liquid and dry can be used in place of the nonfat milk component.
  • Nonfat dry milk is preferred.
  • a liquid milk product either whole or nonfat, is used, the milk product would be dried after being applied to the pad. Any combination of the dry or liquid milk components, either nonfat, or whole milk, can be used in producing the pad.
  • the pad When using a wet slurry production protocol, the pad should be provided with a non- woven outer cover onto which the milk component is coated.
  • the outer cover can be made from polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamides, such as nylon, PET, rayon, cellulose, cotton, viscose, acrylics and fibers from wood pulp.
  • the non-woven covers can be made by spin bonding, melt blowing, needle punching, resin bonding, air laying, hydro entangling, caustic entangling, wet laying, spin lacing and carding, depending on which of the materials are being used to make the cover.
  • the milk component can be applied to the pad cover before assembly of the pad, i.e., before the pad is placed in the pad cover, or after assembly of the pad.
  • the milk coating can be applied to the pad cover by a doctor blade, by rollers, or by spraying.
  • the coated pad or pad cover must be dried before the pad is ready for use. Drying can be accomplished either by forced air drying or by direct application of heat through forced hot air, heated rollers, bars or plates.
  • the pad assembly can include the absorbent filler pad, polymers, such as Hip molecular weight acrylics, commonly referred to as "super slurpers", to hold moisture and may also Include a pouch containing a freezable liquid which can be frozen and slipped into the pad.
  • the finished pad assembly is used in the following manner.
  • the milk is applied to an outer non-woven pad cover
  • the dried milk constituent will be in intimate contact with the subject's skin.
  • the concentration of milk on the pad will be more highly concentrated than if moist milk were to be used without drying the milk coating.
  • the natural moisture of the skin will dissolve or release the fat-free or whole milk to the skin.
  • the cover serves to prevent transepidermal moisture from bypassing the dried milk, and ensures that the transepidermal moisture will solubilize the dried milk solids into a milk solution or mixture.
  • the use of such a sheet material will increase the concentration of transepidermal water vapor such that the water vapor will enhance release of milk to the vaginal area.
  • the concentration of milk on the exterior and interior of the pad will depend on how it is applied, i.e., by cylinder or by spray.
  • Use of a cylinder which directly contacts the nonwoven sheet material to coat the sheet material will result in a greater concentration of milk on the sheet material due to the direct contact that occurs between the cylinder and the sheet material.
  • the concentration of milk in the pad will be able to be thus controlled along with the formulation type, i.e., either hydrophobic or hydrophilic, to affect both instant and/or sustained release of milk from the pad to the vaginal area.
  • a hydrophilic formulation will more readily result in release of the milk for the pad assembly because of the transepidermal moisture.
  • the formulation is hydrophilic, milk release can be slowed by increasing the molecular weight of the incorporated material.
  • Polyethylene glycol is one example of such a material.
  • materials such as silicone can be used to retard the release of the milk constituent.
  • the pad assembly can be customized to a certain degree regarding the rate of release of the milk constituent.
  • a preferred embodiment of the pad assembly could employ an accelerated release of the milk constituent initially, followed by a slower, more sustained release of the milk constituent.
  • the use of a polyethylene glycol matrix which includes different molecular weight fractions would achieve this desired result.
  • the pad assembly can be impregnated with the milk component in a number of other ways which do not involve the formation of a milk slurry per se.
  • One way would be to spray or coat the pad material with water, or an aqueous slurry of a sticky substance, and then sprinkle dry milk on the wet pad material. The sprinkled pad material would then be dried.
  • Another way to produce the milky material would be to add milk to a solid polymer which is to be used to form the non-woven component of the pad assembly after the polymer is melted by before it is converted into a fiber form, and then run the polymer-milk mixture through a spinneret so that the milk is incorporated into the polymer fiber.
